Implementation Reference
- index.ts:808-820 (handler)The actual delete-note handler function. It uses JXA (JavaScript for Automation) to find the note by ID in Apple Notes and calls app.delete() to move it to Recently Deleted.
const deleteNote = async (noteId: string) => { await verboseRunJxa( `const app = Application('Notes'); const noteId = args[0]; const note = Array.from(app.notes()).find(note => { return note.id() === noteId; }); if (!note) throw new Error('__NOTE_NOT_FOUND__:' + noteId); app.delete(note); return true;`, [noteId] ); }; - index.ts:114-120 (schema)Zod schema for delete-note input validation. Accepts optional noteId, title, and path strings; requires at least noteId or title.
const DeleteNoteSchema = z .object({ noteId: z.string().optional(), title: z.string().optional(), path: z.string().optional(), }) .refine((d) => d.noteId || d.title, { message: "Either noteId or title must be provided" }); - index.ts:352-371 (registration)Tool registration in the list of all tools. The delete-note tool is defined with name 'delete-note', description, and input schema referencing noteId, title, and path.
{ name: "delete-note", description: "Delete an Apple Note (moves to Recently Deleted). Identify note by noteId or title.", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { noteId: { type: "string", description: "Apple Notes ID. If provided, skips title resolution.", }, title: { type: "string", description: "Title of the note to delete" }, path: { type: "string", description: "Optional folder path to disambiguate duplicate titles", }, }, required: [], }, }, - index.ts:984-993 (handler)The CallToolRequestSchema handler that dispatches to deleteNote. It parses args with DeleteNoteSchema, resolves the note via resolveNoteId, calls deleteNote to delete it, removes it from the index, and returns a success response.
} else if (name === "delete-note") { const { noteId, title, path } = DeleteNoteSchema.parse(args); const { note: resolvedNote } = await resolveNoteId(notesTable, noteId, title, path); await deleteNote(resolvedNote.id); await removeIndexedNoteById(notesTable, resolvedNote.id); return createJsonResponse({ ok: true, data: { id: resolvedNote.id, title: resolvedNote.title, path: resolvedNote.path }, message: `Deleted note "${resolvedNote.title}".`, }); - index.ts:17-23 (registration)Registration in the MUTATING_TOOLS set, which controls whether the tool is available in read-only mode.
const MUTATING_TOOLS = new Set([ "create-note", "edit-note", "append-to-note", "move-note", "delete-note", ]);
